Hi gang, just getting into home theatre and lovin it so far! What a great thing forum this is!
So, I have 2 questions that I would love your comments on...
Question number 1: My Widescreeen Panasonic CT-34WX53 is terrific! I love it, but there is this strange occurance. On SOME dvd's that say they are widescreen, the top and bottom borders are not filled up all the way. There seems to be a 2 - 2.5 inch black bar that is not the normal letterbox that I see if i were to say, change the aspect ratio. No, sometimes Widescreen fills in all the way like normal and other times, there is this small but distinct band at the top and bottom. I thought if I bought a widescreen TV that I wouldn't see ANY letter box residue. Can anyone advise? And it only occurs on some widescreen DVD's, other widescreen dvd's fill in all the way.
And the second Question: I have B & W speakers with a center. B & W has assured me that their speakers are magnetically shielded and I have no reason to doubt them...they are one of the oldest speaker companies in the world...but I wanted to get your advice gang. I see no problems with putting my center on top of my TV and I am loving it so far. Can I trust B & W and leave it on the top and is there any advantage to having my center lower rather than on top where it looks phat and sounds great? Thanks everyone!!!
